Chapter 001: Love at First Sight?
The afterglow of the setting sun casts on the bustling city, plating the city with a brilliant golden light.
A man with a depressed expression and a dusty face, after walking out of the passenger station with a cloth bag on his back, lit a cheap cigarette, and looked at this familiar and somewhat unfamiliar city.
Ten years is not a long time, it is not a short time, many things have changed, and many things still maintain their original style.
The man's name is Gao Zheng, and he came back here to find a woman named Su Xiaoyi to stay in her store for a while.
I entered a small street with all kinds of twists and turns, and my eyes suddenly lit up. The bluestone path, lined with wooden attics, is free of hustle and bustle, and there is a strong quaint atmosphere everywhere.
Walking on the bluestone path, Gao Zheng looked around with emotion, as if everything was the same as ten years ago, and it hadn't changed at all.
This should be one of the very few streets in Xiangquan City that still has its original appearance, but he didn't know that there were shops in this remote street before.
After all, the flow of people is too small, and it is estimated that business will not be much better.
Gao Zheng glanced at the note with the address and phone number of the noodle shop, and stopped in front of a deserted shop.
There are several steamers piled high at the door, and a young girl with long hair is kneading dough inside. Even if she was plainly dressed and covered with flour, she couldn't hide the graceful figure that made men salivate.
Gao Zheng coughed lightly, and the young girl slowly turned her head, revealing a stunning face, especially those eyes, which were as pure as water.
Beside her, an older woman leaned back in a chair, as if asleep.
The older woman is also a beauty, with delicate facial features, fair skin, and a hot body that is not lost to young girls.
The young girl walked out with a smile and wiped her hands on a towel: "Buy buns?" It's just out of the pot, and it's hot! ”
"Are you Su Xiaoyi?" Gao Zheng smiled: "Sure enough, it's a big beauty, even more beautiful than in the photo." ”
The girl was stunned, and her face flushed slightly: "You...... How do you know my name? ”
Even in the store, only the older woman knows Su Xiaoyi's real name, where did this guy find out?
Gao Zheng walked straight into the store and put the cloth bag on the table: "I was introduced here by Mr. Zhou Xinghe Zhou, and your name was naturally told to me by him." ”
"Grandpa introduced you?" Su Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and glanced back at the woman who was still lying on the chair.
The woman is Su Xiaoyi's cousin, named Zhou Yunfang, and she is also Zhou Xinghe's granddaughter.
Zhou Yunfang opened her eyes and stretched: "Don't stare at me, I don't know what that old bastard is doing." A good family was defeated by him. ”
"Oh!" Su Xiaoyi responded, pointed at Gao Zheng and said to Zhou Yunfang, "Sister, what about him...... Do you want more? ”
This store is actually opened by Zhou Yunfang, whether it is Gao Zheng or not, it is naturally up to Zhou Yunfang to decide.
However, Su Xiaoyi felt that Gao Zheng did not have much hope of staying, after all, the business of the store was really average, and Zhou Yunfang quit a temporary worker two days ago.
"What a fart, how much money does this broken shop make a day?" Zhou Yunfang waved her hand at Gao Zheng: "Where are you going back and forth, the old lady is small in this temple and can't afford too many gods." ”
Gao Zheng scratched his head, the temperament of these two sisters is too different, one is gentle and lovely, and the other is fierce as a tiger.
"I owe Mr. Zhou a favor, and promised him to work here for free for a year, as long as he eats and lives." Gao Zheng said softly.
Zhou Yunfang was stunned for a moment, and her face softened slightly: "Oh, don't you want to be paid?" Did you say it earlier...... Okay, let's stay, it just so happens that there is a shortage of men in the store. ”
The lack of a man means that all the hard work in the future will be handed over to Gao Zheng.
Naturally, there is no need for so many temporary workers in the store. With Gao Zheng's free labor, it can be regarded as saving an expense for the store.
Business has not been good in the past two years, and the competition is still extremely fierce, Zhou Yunfang's noodle shop has been a little unable to make ends meet. In the case of not being able to open source, you can only throttle.
Undoubtedly, Gao Zheng's free labor made Zhou Yunfang's eyes light up.
Su Xiaoyi heard the meaning of Zhou Yunfang's words, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "Sister, with his body, it is estimated that he will not be able to do any heavy work." ”
Zhou Yunfang glanced at Gao Zheng up and down, she was indeed a little thin, so she smacked her mouth and said, "Can you carry a bag of flour?" ”
Gao Zheng said hesitantly: "What is a bag of flour, when I used to kill pigs, a pig of more than 100 catties was like playing in my hand." ”
"Kill pigs? Forget it, you probably can't even hold a knife in your bones. Su Xiaoyi didn't know if Zhou Yunfang believed Gao Zheng's words, anyway, she didn't believe it.
"I've killed pigs." Gao Zheng was serious and said to Su Xiaoyi very seriously.
"It doesn't matter if you killed pigs or cows before, in the old lady's one-third of an acre, you have to pick up your tail and be a man." Zhou Yunfang pouted: "Give you a one-month trial period, stay if you do it, and get out of it if you can't do it." The old lady never raised useless idlers, and wanted to eat and drink, but there was no door...... Yiyi, take him to the warehouse and carry two bags of flour over. ”
A very spicy beauty, and her temper is so violent. Next year, he is about the same age as Gao Zheng, but he opened his mouth as an "old lady" and closed his mouth as an "old lady", which made Gao Zheng a little speechless.
"Why are you still stunned, waiting for the old lady to serve the food?" Zhou Yunfang saw that Gao Zheng was stunned and roared.
"Oh, Howler!" Gao Zheng secretly spoke, rolled up his sleeves, and followed Su Xiaoyi to the warehouse.
A bag of flour is fifty catties, two bags are one hundred catties, just now Gao Zheng said that carrying more than a hundred catties of pigs is like playing, and now if you can't even carry two bags of flour, it will be a slap in the face.
It doesn't matter if he slaps his face, even if Zhou Yunfang asks him to get out, there should be nothing to say.
Zhou Yunfang tilted her head, squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the warehouse, imagining in her mind that Gao Zheng was pressed by flour and couldn't stand upright.
It's not that she likes to toss people, but what Old Man Zhou does is too hateful, not to mention the failure of a good family, and he also borrows debts everywhere. Even this shop was mortgaged by the old guy, and creditors came to the door almost every day to cause trouble.
Zhou Yunfang was anxious, so she sprinkled her hatred for Old Man Zhou on Gao Zheng, who told him to pay off his debts for Master Zhou?
The warehouse was at the back of the store, and Gao Zheng quickly came over with flour.
When Zhou Yunfang saw that this guy was holding two bags of flour in one hand, still talking and laughing with Su Xiaoyi, a pair of beautiful eyes were about to fall out.
With a weight of 200 catties, even if it is a migrant worker who often does manual work, it is difficult to be as easy as Gao Zheng.
"I can't see it, the little arms and legs are not small." Zhou Yunfang said jokingly.
In fact, Gao Zheng just looked thin, if he took off his shirt, he would probably shock Zhou Yunfang's chin.
After putting the flour, Zhou Yunfang also handed over the kneading work to Gao Zheng, anyway, this guy has a lot of strength.
Su Xiaoyi on the side stared at Gao Zheng suspiciously, her skills were skillful, her strength was even, even her posture was very beautiful, and her movements had a sense of rhythm.
"You're pretty good at kneading dough." Su Xiaoyi smiled slightly, revealing a pair of charming dimples.
Gao Zheng straightened his chest: "That's right, pig killing is just my side job, my real ability is to make pastries, otherwise Old Man Zhou wouldn't let me come over." It's not to blow to you, in our village, I'm also a little famous, and everyone gave me a nickname, guess what's it? ”
"Can't guess." Su Xiaoyi shook her head, looking curious.
Gao Zheng leaned into her ear, exhaled lightly and said, "Noodles Pan An......"
"Poof!" Su Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing: "I believe you like noodles, but as for being like Pan An, hehe......"
"Don't believe it, my brother is down now, when he was glamorous before, he was also a talent, and many girls revolved around him." Gao Zheng winked at Su Xiaoyi and sent out an autumn wave.
Su Xiaoyi's face flushed and she twisted her head to the side. This guy looks like a child, but there is a vicissitudes and steadiness of a mature man in his eyes, which makes Su Xiaoyi's heart move.
Of course, Gao Zheng's outfit was too cold, not to mention wrinkled, and he broke a few small holes. People rely on clothes, and if you change into better clothes, you are actually quite handsome.
"Do the work, what so much nonsense." Zhou Yunfang picked up the rolling pin and knocked on Gao Zheng: "Stinky boy, the old lady warns you, don't beat Xiaoyi's idea, otherwise the old lady will chop you." ”
This is not to scare Gao Zheng, an employee in the store pestered Su Xiaoyi before, and was severely beaten by Zhou Yunfang.
Unexpectedly, that kid was actually a scoundrel, and the purpose of coming to the store was to get close to Su Xiaoyi.
After being beaten by Zhou Yunfang, the kid simply tore his face and came to the store every once in a while to make trouble. For this reason, Zhou Yunfang has suffered a lot of losses, but that kid didn't get a good deal, and he made a mess every time.
In short, Zhou Yunfang is very protective of Su Xiaoyi, and almost all the men who have had crooked thoughts about Su Xiaoyi have been beaten by Zhou Yunfang.
Seeing Gao Zheng and Su Xiaoyi's eyes exchanging with each other just now, Zhou Yunfang knew something bad, why did these two people have a taste of love at first sight?
"Even if it's love at first sight, the old lady has to beat the mandarin duck." Zhou Yunfang pushed Su Xiaoyi away and glared at Gao Zheng fiercely, as if her eyes were about to erupt with fire.
